30 Things I Want You to Know is a father's distilled wisdom on discipline-written not as theory, but as lived truth. This book speaks to the quiet moments that define character: the choices made when no one is watching, the restraint required when impulse is easier, and the discipline it takes to build a life rooted in self-respect rather than excuses. Each lesson is direct, practical, and intentionally brief-meant to be read in a single sitting and carried forward into daily life. These are lessons about responsibility, courage, restraint, honesty, consistency, and choosing the harder right over the easier wrong. Not slogans. Not motivation. Just clear guidance shaped by experience, mistakes, reflection, and growth. Written as a conversation between father and son, this book is designed to be returned to over time. It is for sons finding their footing, fathers shaping legacy, and anyone who understands that discipline is not punishment-it is self-respect in action. This is not a book meant to be rushed.It is meant to be lived.
